Martinez-Rabert, Eloi (author), Sloan, William T. (author), Gonzalez Cabaleiro, R. (author)Hypothesis and theory-based studies in microbial ecology have been neglected in favour of those that are descriptive and aim for data-gathering of uncultured microbial species. This tendency limits our capacity to create new mechanistic explanations of microbial community dynamics, hampering the improvement of current environmental...review 2023
